Picked a US General box over a Snap On and honestly I'm happy

I had about $800 saved for a new tool chest and was dead set on getting a used Snap On off Craigslist. After driving 45 minutes to look at a rusty 40 inch box that still wanted $1200, I gave up and walked into Harbor Freight. Grabbed the 56 inch US General roller for $699 and honestly the drawer slides feel just as smooth as that Snap On did. Anybody else decide to go the cheap route and not regret it one bit?

Bought a US General cart last year and now my garage has more orange than a Home Depot parking lot.

Man I gotta disagree on the "more orange than a Home Depot parking lot" thing. That orange actually pops in a good way when you've got other darker tools around. I've got a mix of black and red boxes in my garage and the US General cart breaks it up nicely, makes the space feel more alive. Plus if you ever need to find that thing in a hurry you can spot it from across the room without even trying. Honestly I think people who complain about the color are just mad they didn't buy the cart when it was on sale.
